NEWS CENTER – TEV-ÇAND condemned the attack and massacre in Paris and emphasized, "We call on all anti-system democratic forces, our friends, intellectuals, writers and art circles to shoulder this struggle."

 

Mesopotamia Democratic Culture-Art Movement (TEV-ÇAND) condemned the attack and massacre in Paris, the capital of France, in a statement. In the statement, it was underlined that they condemned the attack and those who lost their lives were commemorated.

 

The following statements took place in the continuation of the statement: “The fascist Turkish state, which inherited the dirty legacy of the Ottoman Empire, is no less than this with its intelligence organization and secret structures. The colonial Turkish state and its fascist government, the AKP-MHP, are attacking without recognizing any human values or moral standards. There is no massacre or inhumane practice that this mentality, which bases its existence on the genocide of the Kurdish people, will not do. At a time when the elections were approaching, it was predicted that these attacks would intensify even more. The Paris massacre proved this once again. Everyone should know that the fascist Turkish state is behind this massacre and the aggressor. First of all, the French state is under this plague. If the murder of three revolutionary Kurdish women in 2013 had been sufficiently emphasized and held to account, this and similar attacks could have been prevented today. But the French government did not do this, it did not condemn the obvious links of the massacre in the field of law.

 

It is the responsibility of the states to reveal

 

The perpetrator of this massacre was blatantly killed to prevent the truth from being revealed by covering it up. Encouraged by this ambivalent attitude, the fascist Turkish state is able to organize such reckless operations in the heart of Europe, in the heart of France. The compromising and collaborative policies of European countries can encourage the fascist Turkish state to commit massacres in their own countries. Will the French state act as in the past this time, or will it reveal the truth by learning from the past? We will follow this until the end. The colonialist Turkish state and its fascist government are directly responsible for this massacre, not indirectly. Revealing this is also the responsibility of the states concerned. As the Kurdish people, we will resist these attacks with all our strength, as we have done so far. We will hold to account by further developing our struggle from this fascist state that has turned towards our existence and culture. It is no coincidence that the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Center was targeted. Even in Europe, this intolerance against Kurdish culture is a clear indication of the level of genocide policies. Physical and cultural genocide policies are carried out side by side.

 

We invite you to shoulder our struggle

 

The colonialist Turkish state does not hesitate to display its hostility towards the Kurdish people by every means and method. We will not beg for mercy from this enemy. As the people, as Kurdish culture and art workers, as intellectuals and artists, we will raise our struggle even more in this process. We will hold tighter to our culture and values on the basis of self-defense. This government will collapse, this state's genocidal policies will be defeated by our struggle. We have full faith in this. These attacks and the massacres developed are for all peoples and cultures in the person of the Kurdish people. The struggle to be developed against this should also be global. We invite all peoples, especially our people, to demonstrate their attitudes through action. We call on all anti-system democratic forces, our friends, intellectuals, writers and art circles to shoulder our struggle.”
